Super Healthy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie



Fall is certainly in the air here in Newfoundland and we're embracing all things pumpkin including this delicious but healthy pumpkin spice smoothie. It's superhero approved, which means no refined carbohydrates and no added sugars.

Honestly, this smoothie tastes like pumpkin pie without bring overly sweet.



Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (you can also use regular milk)
1/2 banana
3 ice cubes
2 medjool dates (pitted)
1 Tbsp crushed pecans
1/2 tsp stevia or 1-2 tsp of honey (I used stevia for mine and honey for Dan's; both tasted great)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ginger
pinch of cloves, nutmeg, and all spice


Throw everything into your bullet or a blender and voila, you have yourself a yummy fall smoothie. You could top it with some crushed pecans and/or chopped dates, or whipped coconut milk. YUM.

Enjoy!
